    Anyone using HSMWorks Express with Tormach Personal CNC 1100?

    Hello all,
    Wondering if any of you folks were using the free add-on for SolidWorks or Inventor 2014 with this machine?

    I have it too.. no special post required really... generic one will do... Its a good fit for me and much easier to use than other cam tools IMO...

    Here are a couple I have done.

    I used the post on the HSM forums so that M998 would work on my machine. I need to test out tapping via HSM works, anyone done that on a tormach?

    I made this scale landing gear using HSM... a Ton of ops on the main beams... (The pilot is 12" tall)
    Attachment 217136

    The free version is 2.5D only, and no indexing... I just hand edit in any rotations, and have a coordinate system for each face, then stitch all the ops together. Its easy enough if a bit inconvenient.
